The NATHEALTH Impact Awards 2024 recognized the significance of collaboration among various stakeholders, who created impact through pooling resources and expertise via CSR spending. 2024’s NATHEALTH Impact Awards expanded beyond the health sector to include areas around health, notably climate impact. A total of 74 applications were received, demonstrating the breadth of impactful work in the sector. The awards aimed to recognize and facilitate innovators who demonstrated commitment, passion, and creativity in making positive changes on the ground.
Unlike previous years, this edition featured four thematic areas: Patient safety, Health Innovation, Health and Climate, and Traditional Corporate Social Responsibility. A distinguished jury, comprising experts from various fields, evaluated submissions based on criteria such as innovation, impact, equity, inclusiveness, sustainability, scalability, and replicability. Through this initiative, NATHEALTH aimed to amplify the impact of initiatives beyond individual contributions.
IPE Global, as the knowledge partner, collaborated with NATHEALTH to define criteria and invited submissions. After reviewing submissions, the jury, in consultation with facilitators, agreed on the weightage for each criterion. Shortlisted applications underwent further scrutiny. Shortlisted applicants presented their initiatives to the jury, fostering detailed discussions and evaluations. Final decisions were made based on these presentations.
The jury members, representing diverse expertise and backgrounds, played a crucial role in the evaluation process. Their dedication ensured that awards were given based on merit and impact rather than mere formalities. The jury members included personnels from offices and organizations like MoHFW, NHSRC, QCI, USAID, Lincoln American University, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Premji Invest, Wellcome Trust, Mahajan Imaging, IPE Global, and ADB.
